If we have plane and crew available, we can transport your patient by air ambulance, the same day that you schedule charter service planes. However, we like to have more time so that our doctor can speak with the patient’s doctor if necessary and that can sometimes take a little time. Commercial escorts require more time because of airline restrictions. Escorts require 48 hours or 72 hours if oxygen is required. Stretcher transports can take from 5 to 7 business days so that the airline can schedule maintenance to take out the seats. If charter service planes price is potentially an issue and you want back-haul savings, the more time that you can give us on an air ambulance flight, the better chance that we have of connecting it with another flight and saving you a substantial amount of money. When you are comfortable and you’re ready for the flight, give us a call and we’ll set it all up for you.

We can transport a patient who has been discharged. If our Medical Director deems the patient safe for transport, he will give us the authority to transport her via air medical air ambulance. Because she is being discharged, she will need to be transported to a facility that will give her at least the same level of care. If you need help in scheduling the receiving facility, we can help you with that.

You can reach us at this number that you called 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We will always have experienced air charter ambulances coordinators available to help you.

Air ambulance in reality can be cheaper than charter because if you take a charter flight it’s taxable and the tax of the flight exceeds the cost of the nurses for a Med Flight escort flight.

Our patient transportation case manager quote to you is all-inclusive. There are no hidden charges or add-ons. Any changes to costs that might occur as a result of changing patient conditions (such as an upgrade to a ground ambulance from a wheel chair van) would only be done prior to a transport and with the full knowledge of our customer.

On international trips, patients who can not sit in an airline seat may still qualify for a commercial airline flight using a medical airline stretcher in the rear of the aircraft at savings of tens of thousands compared to patient transportation businesses.
